Tracking membranes of rupturing blood cells sheds light on malaria infection
By specially tagging the outer and inner membranes of red blood cells infected with the malaria parasite and tracking the cellular changes that precede the cell bursting event that disperses parasites to other blood cells, a group of researchers has deepened our understanding of how the malaria pathogen destroys the cells in which it resides.   view more (2005-09-22)

Yale procedure cuts recurrence of aggressive uterine cancer
A state-of-the-art treatment program developed at Yale School of Medicine increases survival from the aggressive uterine papillary serous carcinoma (UPSC) and spares some patients the need for additional therapy.   view more (2005-09-22)

Plants tell caterpillars when it's safe to forage
The world is filled with cues that could influence the daily feeding patterns of an organism. Many plants, for example, respond to foraging damage by releasing specialized chemical signals-volatile organic compounds that evaporate in the air-that attract the forager's natural enemies.   view more (2006-05-16)

Should older men be screened for prostate cancer?
Screening for prostate cancer in older men has been problematic. While this form of cancer can be fatal, it often progresses so slowly that men are more likely to die from some other disease. Aggressive treatments such as radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy may eradicate the cancer but have negativ   view more (2006-05-02)

Ginkgo biloba extract: More than just for memory?
Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center say they now have a clearer picture of how an extract from the leaves of the Ginkgo biloba tree reduces the risk of aggressive cancer in animal experiments.   view more (2006-02-24)

Violent video games lead to brain activity characteristic of aggression, MSU researcher shows
A Michigan State University researcher and his colleagues have shown that playing violent video games leads to brain activity pattern that may be characteristic for aggressive thoughts.   view more (2005-10-12)

Nicotine exposure during development leads to hearing problems
Scientists know that children of women who smoke during pregnancy can develop hearing-related cognitive deficits. For the first time, researchers believe they have evidence that not only implicates nicotine as the culprit, but also shows what the substance does to the brain to cause these deficits.   view more (2006-07-19)

Psychologist increases preschooler compliance in study
Parents and teachers can dramatically increase the compliance of preschool children who don't obey - and head off serious behavior problems down the road - by closely following a little-known, three-step "guided compliance" regimen.   view more (2006-09-29)

Good news for the medical marijuana movement: pot proliferates brain cells and boosts mood
Most drugs of abuse decrease the generation of new neurons in the brain, but the effects of marijuana on this process, called neurogenesis, had not been clear.   view more (2005-10-14)

New genetic link to high blood pressure found
A new genetic discovery made by a University of Michigan team may help explain why some people develop high blood pressure and others don't - and why some people's blood pressure increases as they age.   view more (2005-10-18)

Elevated testosterone kills nerve cells
A Yale School of Medicine study shows for the first time that a high level of testosterone, such as that caused by the use of steroids to increase muscle mass or for replacement therapy, can lead to a catastrophic loss of brain cells.   view more (2006-09-27)
